Conditional sending of verification emails

[sdi2000012]

I’d like to suggest a way to conditionally send verification emails in Payload v3. In my testing, I create a user programmatically with _verified: true For example:

const user = await payload.create({
  collection: 'users',
  data: {
    email: '[email protected]',
    password: 'securePassword123',
    _verified: true,
    <More data>
  },
})

This still sends me a verification email, so if I want to for example, migrate data from an old database to our current one, each user will receive an email, unless I wrap my email provider in a way that ignores and doesn't send empty emails and do this:

generateEmailHTML: ({ req, token, user }) => {
  const isAfterMigration = !!req?.context?.afterMigration
  // Don't send verification email if after migration
  if (isAfterMigration) {
    return ''
  }

It would be great if Payload provided a built-in way to skip sending verification emails based on conditions, such as. if user._verified is true
